I've had what a believe is a Yuma for a couple months now. I was just wondering if this color is common or somethin a little on the special side. It's one of my favorites for sure. And correct me if I'm wrong about it being a yuma.... thanks!
Anything special here?

Well what's the difference then? I've been told ricordea reproduce by splitting, but yumas can reproduce like a mushroom leaving behind pieces of tissue that form into a whole new shroom. This one in question is attached to a shell, and there is a baby on the underside...Also ricordea seem to have more of a uniform or symmetrical appearance correct? I do have a ricordea in the tank as well....here it is

Looks like a Ricordea to me, in fact, same color as one of mine.

Hate to burst anyone's bubble but that is in fact a ricordea Yuma and a fairly common Orange rainbowy one. To identify Yuma from Florida ricordeas it is fairly simple. Look at the mouth of the ricordea, yumas always have bubbles around the mouth whereas floridas do not.
